The Mercedes-Maybach S 600 Pullman Guard

The Mercedes-Maybach S 600 Pullman Guard

When the first deliveries of this 6.5 metre long, 5.6-tonne limousine begin in earnest in the second half of 2017, clients will get a vehicle that challenges any Rolls-Royce or Bentley in terms of interior space and creature comforts. The Pullman Guard offers rear face-to-face seating so that four passengers can conduct a moving meeting while quaffing champagne from bespoke crystal glasses.

protection class VR9 and Directive ERV 2010, even an attack from a rocket-propelled grenade shouldn’t raise you from your slumber.

Everything from the floor to the windows is reinforced to withstand bullets, shrapnel and explosive devices. The armor plating on the doors is so dense that Mercedes has had to fit motors to the hinges so that someone other than Superman can open and close them easily without rupturing a muscle group.

The reason why it’s able to offer such high levels of protection is because the reinforcing and other security elements are integrated into the car’s basic structure, rather than added later. This approach also means that although the vehicle is considerably heavier than a ‘stock’ Pullman (the S 600 Pullman is Mercedes’ current absolute flagship), it should still behave like car, not a tank, on the open road.

Its V12 bi-turbo engine has been tuned for power over speed. There’s 530hp on tap but a huge 830Nm of torque available at even low revs, so it will always be able to pull away. And though Mercedes has electronically limited the top speed to reduce the severity of a potential collision, it will still hit 100mph (160km/h).
